The Bigger Picture

Strong 2025 rebound signals renewed investor appetite
EWU delivered 34.45% total return in 2025, substantially outpacing its 6.84% gain in 2024, indicating a sharp reversal in UK market sentiment. The fund's one-year total return of 25.27% reflects broad-based recovery in British equities after years of relative weakness. This rebound suggests investors are rotating back into UK-listed companies after a prolonged period of underallocation to the region.

Each bar shows a 0–100 percentile compared to the last year of data. Key levels show the nearest demand and supply zones from our confluence analysis.
